What happens when a broken marriage, a secluded cabin, and two people who both secretly planned to murder each other collide?

Over Your Dead Body (2026) — Key Details at a Glance

The Plot — A Cabin, A Couple, and Two Murder Plans

The film follows a deeply dysfunctional married couple — played by Jason Segel (Shrinking) and Samara Weaving (Ready or Not) — who head to a remote lakeside cabin supposedly to rekindle their failing relationship. The twist? Both of them secretly showed up with a plan to kill the other. Neither knows the other’s agenda. Chaos, dark humour, and impressively choreographed violence ensue.

It’s a remake of Tommy Wirkola’s acclaimed Norwegian dark comedy thriller The Trip (2021), but with an all-star ensemble and the action firepower of the team behind John Wick and Nobody.

The Dream Cast and Crew

The supporting cast is just as exciting as the leads. Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, Paul Guilfoyle, and Keith Jardine all join the fray. Behind the camera, director Jorma Taccone — a Saturday Night Live alumnus and member of comedy group The Lonely Island — brings his signature chaotic energy, while producers Kelly McCormick and David Leitch (the 87North team) guarantee the action sequences will be absolutely top-tier.

Filming wrapped in Tampere, Finland, and the results look cinematic, ice-cold, and brilliantly twisted.
